“Ganbare Goemon” Amazon Sales: Switch Hits 7,000 Units, PS5 Hits 900 Units

Yeah

It grew more after the release than I expected.

The Switch version added 3,000 units over the weekend,
while the PS5 version added 300.

The PS5 is just sold out, isn’t it?
They miscalculated the shipping numbers.

The PS5 version arrives tomorrow, so why…

And it’s even the censored version.

The Switch version is out of stock, but the PS5 version is just piling up and looks like it’ll end up in the bargain bin. Maybe they should’ve just ditched physical copies? lol

So it turns out most Switch users are just old guys, huh.

Wait, looking closely, is the Switch version actually sold out?
Only the PS5 one has next-day delivery, lmao.

The houses of the dads who used to play the Goemon series only have Switches.

This is exactly why they abandon physical releases.

I’m actually surprised they shipped 7,000 units on Amazon alone.

They seem uninterested in anything that isn’t high-spec photorealism.

They specifically blocked the Xbox version only for it to end up like this, lololol.

It’s actually impressive, honestly.
Graphics don’t matter for this, so normally people would just buy it for the Switch, which is portable.
Thinking about it, 100 units for PS5 wouldn’t even be surprising, so they’re actually doing alright.

The impact of ditching physical discs is huge, lol.

Old guys flexing their Goemon knowledge is so cringe, lol.

In terms of user age range, the PS5 should actually be the better fit, but it seems the average purchasing power of Japanese PS users has become quite pathetic, so they probably can’t even afford to pay 4,500 yen for a nostalgic game.

I think Konami might have reduced the physical shipments for PS based on their past collection games.
Even for Castlevania and Contra, only the PS versions had tons of stock left over.

I don’t understand why a retro game collection would have a “debuff.”

There’s almost no such thing as an old guy who owns a PS5 but not a Switch.
For a light game like this, the portable option clearly has the advantage.
Plus, you can play it with your kids.

Why does the PS version feel so much sadder…

For Sony, they’re probably right to ditch physical discs.

PlayStation is a console where nobody is home, after all.

You can’t really play Goemon without a Super Famicom controller, can you?
They tell you to press the red button or the green button.

Here we go again with the Switch version being out of stock and losing sales opportunities.
But since the PS version doesn’t sell, the gap isn’t going to shrink lol.

It looks like there’s going to be a 10x difference.

Release the PS5 version of Shine Post already, you idiot Konami.

Real PlayStation users have abandoned GTA for mobile games…

Considering they’re users of a minor console who don’t buy new titles, didn’t they buy quite a lot?

Do you think it can reach 50,000 total?

There’s no need to increase production for the PS5 version.

Porting it to the Kuso-Station (PS) and PC was a waste.

PS users are cursed with needing 4K resolution or their eyes will melt (even though their TV isn’t 4K).

It’s actually selling quite well.

Physical stores are sold out, so people are shifting to online shopping.
Who knows if or when retail stores will get more stock.

It’s selling like crazy on a console that’s supposed to only have kids, but not selling on a console that’s supposedly full of mature adult gamers lol.

After the Xbox, they can probably cut either the PS or Steam versions, or maybe both.
Do it for the Switch 2 instead.
